Has anyone found soft tortillas (for fajitas/burritos) that are dairy, egg, peanut, and nut-free? (Sesame is OK for us.) The ones in the pre-packaged breads area all may contain dairy. The Old El Paso ones looked safe at first glance but the long list of chemicals in them scared me away. Does anyone know of another brand (available in AB) that is safe? (And not loaded with chemicals, if possible.)

I know how you both feel. I can't eat them anymore due to all the chemicals I will (and have had reacted to in the past).

The solution is get a tortilla press. I got a good one in Toronto for 20 bucks, All you do is get the flour and some water. i will warn you, it is extremely difficult to prepare because they stick to the press quite easily and I refuse to get non-stick appliances, even before my allergy problems, non-stick is bad for you.

Anyway, if anyone knows a good way to make homemade tortila's let me know, They are inexpensive to make but I just can't get them off the press, even when using wax paper.

I have checked every store in town and all of them except Old El Paso have milk warmings. I have looked into tortilla presses too - but I don't eat them very often and just want a quick grab and go item if possible. We have made some in a pan too... just takes time...

Also, tortilla recipes recommend using corn flour which is less sticky than wheat. Oiling the press and using less water in the dough may reduce the sticking. ?

Also not sure how severe your dairy allergy is. We eat may contains for dairy as only mild for DS.

I just checked, still not safe for us in Sask. at least. And FI's dairy allergy is instant death basically. Olafson's I will pick up...when I can find them which seems to be impossible. I have just found it easier to make my own.
